14th July |
Interface between drained peat bog and coniferous plantation. Then original hedgerow later.
Cloudy, but bright, with occasional drizzle. |
At first I thought this was a washed-out Sickener, then I noticed I was under Birch. I think it's possibly Russula betularum. Cap about 3 cm. across.
|
This was fairly obviously a Lactarius. Given location (under Pine) and the slowly developing reaction to the milk, I think it's the Rufous Milk Cap - Lactarius rufus. Cap about 4 cm. across. |
The Bilberry is now ripe, and rather tasty. |
Back to the hedgerow for an evening walk. Two shots of the Great Willowherb. Flower about 2 cm across.
|
Now that I'm actually looking at ferns, I'm finding new ones each time I
walk. This is the Soft Shield Fern.
|
And this appears to be the Broad Buckler.
|
Two more fruits. The seedcase of the Foxglove on the left, and the yellow
form of the Raspberry on the right.
